Japan launched a satellite to monitor greenhouse gases and sea temperatures, which is a dual purpose. On Saturday, June 28, 2025, the Japan Aerospace Explorus Agency (JAXA) organized its 50th and final launch of the H-2A rocket, which launched the Gosat-GW Satellite of Double Purpose in space. This mission removed the YPSHinobu Launch Complex (LP-1) in Japan at 10:03 pm from Japan from the YPSHinobu Launch Complex (LP-1) in Japan. This satellite has been sent by Japan to observe the changes in water cycles and greenhouse gases.
Jacksa’s Dual Purpose Satellite Launch
According to Jacksa, Green House Gas and Water Cycle Observations Satellite (GOSA-GW) is a recent and important effort to learn about the effects of greenhouse gases and changes in the cycle of rainfall. Gosat GWGCOM is joined in the orbit of the Earth with GCOMW2, which is his predecessor, and was launched in 2012, known as Shizuko, while Gosat 1, which was launched in 2009, is known as Abuki. It is equipped with two major devices.
More about Gosat-GW
Gosat-GW is equipped with two main devices, the first is called Advanced Microwave Radiometer (AMSR), and the second is known as greenhouse gases observation sensor (Tanso). The previous water cycle and sea level temperature fluctuations will measure, while the latter is to monitor ingredients like carbon dioxide in the ground environment to measure the climate change.
Japan’s H-2A rocket has been able to launch pay loads and rotate the moon in the geographical orbit around the ground. Jacksa also launched the Akotoski spacecraft for a Venice study in 2010. However, the spacecraft failed to properly enter Venice’s orbit.
Japan’s successful launch operations
Jacksa started H-2A for the first time in 2001. With its 25 years of work, the rocket experienced only one failure, which gave the spacecraft a 98 % success rate. After 50 missions, the launch vehicle is now retiring to make a way for Japan’s H3 rocket, which has a very reasonable comparison performance.
